In March 2010 my family (six adults) took a vacation to New Zealand.
One of the things that we had decided to do while in Christchurch was to go to Tanks for Everything. Three of us decided to drive a tank and crush a car. Before we drove anything, we got a tour of all the vehicles. We were able to crawl in all of them (some required more flexibilty than others!) and Matt told us a lot about what they were used for and where they came from. It was very interesting information (even for me who isn't normally that interested in history or military stuff). After the tour, those of us who drove a tank got a tutorial on how to drive. After learning how much maintenance is required to keep the tanks running, I was a little nervous I was going to do something wrong. That didn't happen, however, because Matt rode on the tank next to each driver to instruct us when we forgot what we were doing or had a hard time with driving. Driving the course was really fun! So much different than anything I've ever driven before! The car crush came at the end of the course. Jonathan was there to guide us so we lined up just right with the car. It is so easy to run over a car in a tank!! We took a bunch of pictures of everything, and video, too. All of us had a great time. I think it was well worth it. Matt and Jonathan are great guys and make the experience great. I can tell they enjoy what they do! I would definitely choose to do this again!!
